Surgery during AF?

I have booked in today for major surgery to my sinuses on 26th April. But I just realised that I may be in the last couple of days of AF at that time. It is surgery where I need to stay overnight so not just a day surgery but my ENT said it should only take about 90 mins to 2 hours to complete the surgery.

So do you think there would be any issues if I had a menstrual cup or tampon in during the surgery?

For anyone that uses the menstrual cup do you find it actually speeds up your AF making it shorter in duration?

I have never had major surgery except for when I had my wisdom teeth out and I was on the BCP then so I could pretty much decide when I wanted to have AF visit. I won't be going on the BCP again anytime soon though.

Hi HOMS. from my experience usually the nurses ask you to wear a pad. tampons may get forgotten while in you and nurse may forget to check it while you are in recovery so its an infection risk. since its a day procedure, try calling the peri op clinic of the hospital before you go in and ask them what they reommend.
goodluck with your surgery!

Hi HOMS, using a cup didn't seem to reduce the length of my AF, but it did make the cramping much less painful, particularly if I inserted it a few hours before AF was due to arrive.
On another note: good luck for your surgery
